&gt;KAZAKHSTAN, UZBEKISTAN START BORDER DEMARCATION. Having agreed on the<br/>
&gt;delimitation of their common frontier after four years of work,<br/>
&gt;Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are starting the procedure of actually<br/>
&gt;marking the border, khabar.kz reported on 7 August. The process of<br/>
&gt;setting up markers on the 1,251-kilometer border is expected to take<br/>
&gt;18 months. According to khabar.kz, the presidents of the two<br/>
&gt;countries agreed in late 2002 that no barbed wire or fences would be<br/>
&gt;used. According to &quot;Ekspress-K&quot; on 6 August, some questions remain<br/>
&gt;about the placing of markers in villages that straddle the border. BB </span></blockquote></div>
